    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Very enjoyable place to be, everyone is friendly and welcoming. You also get several social events which makes thing fun!

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Lots of the work delegated is interesting and relevant to the service line you are in meaning a broad understanding of the 'bigger picture' which is a great thing. Feedback is collated at the end of your internship so it is clear to see how much you are valued.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • You have a buddy to look after you, a counselor for career advice and many like minded people around you too which always help!

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • It can be slightly slow to start but as soon as you meet some new people and begin asking for work there is plenty to do.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • All of the work you do will be reviewed more than once, however the responsibility is on you to provide work of a high standard, there's lots of support so this is usually fine!

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • There are so many post-grad qualifications EY offer whilst on the grad scheme, they are different for each service line. There are also dial in sessions, lunch and learns, and web based learning courses too.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Always lively and upbeat, the focus was on the work at hand but people are the focus and reputation of EY, and they definitely lived up to this.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The induction days, socials, buddy's, counselor's and IT training make you prepared and organised. You know lots about what you will be doing before you start and there is always someone to ask if unsure.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • On the internship, training is fairly limited to 'on the job' and web based learning. However the grad course offers a huge amount.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Company Parties/Events
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I was offered a job, EY look to recruit their grads from interns.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Lots of social events within teams and with other interns.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London is not cheap!

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Expensive but always great.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Lots of different societies and sports teams to get involved in. Also all interns did a CSR day for the community.
